Po Boys and Oysters at Herald Theatre

Po’ Boys and Oysters - the first Black queer play to debut in New Zealand to rave reviews - is returning for an encore season, and will headline the very first Aotearoa Festival of Black Arts in Auckland. 

Written by and starring Auckland-based Estelle Chout, who was born in the Caribbean nation of Martinique, the play is set in the suburb of Mission Bay. It follows Flo and Jo, a lesbian couple preparing to adopt a baby, as they host a dinner party to share the news with Jo’s outspoken sister, her conservative husband, and an unexpected guest — a young man from Feilding.
